[Weather] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Impacts From Tropical Storm Fay

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

The following changes have been made to the forecast:

*- Flash Flood Watch was taken down for eastern/central Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. The best chance *of flooding issues may remain west of
southern New England.

Tropical Storm Fay is forecast to track north and pass over western Long
Island and western Connecticut Saturday morning.

The main concern from Fay in southern New England is the potential for
flash flooding from heavy rainfall Friday night into Saturday in western MA
and CT.* However, the best chance of flooding issues may remain west of
southern New England. *

Here are the key points regarding the main threats from Fay:


*Flash Flooding:* We are most confident in the potential for heavy rainfall
tonight in western MA and CT. Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is likely with
locally higher amounts. Minor urban flooding is possible but more
significant urban and small stream flooding is possible depending on where
the heaviest rain falls.


*Wind:*  It is likely that tropical storm force winds remain along the
Connecticut coast. Prevailing wind direction should be from the south or
southeast.


*Rip Currents:*  There is a moderate to high risk of dangerous rip currents
and high surf Saturday, especially on south facing, ocean exposed beaches.

*Severe Weather:* The overall severe weather threat is low, but an isolated
tornado cannot be ruled out.

The next email briefing will be sent this afternoon.
